It is truly a gift of self that will help your neighbors and friends locally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A large percentage of that blood goes toward the maintenance needs of patients, according to Amanda Barzak, lead technologist with the center. \u201cThere are people who need blood their whole lives, so having a continuous supply of blood donations is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, during the mid-summer months, busy schedules often prevent people from sticking to their regular blood donation schedules, and a seasonal lull impacts local blood supplies when the need of regular patients remains steady and trauma patient needs increases, Kaine said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16450\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16450\" style=\"width: 229px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16450\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/15094428\/fiona-walking-cat1200.webp\" alt=\"Fiona's drawing of her and her mother walking a cat that she drew for her nurses.\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/15094428\/fiona-walking-cat1200.webp 762w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/15094428\/fiona-walking-cat1200-229x300.webp 229w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/15094428\/fiona-walking-cat1200-114x150.webp 114w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/06\/15094428\/fiona-walking-cat1200-200x262.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16450\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fiona&#8217;s drawing of her and her mother walking a cat that she drew for her nurses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On June 28, Fiona is hosting a blood drive at the Windsor-Severance Fire Rescue station to bring awareness to the need for donations.
